- Hello again and welcome to Lesson 17.
This is the final lesson in the course,
and we're going to see how to implement an application
to access a relational database
which is quite a nice way to wrap things up.
The database we're going to access is MySQL
and in case you don't have MySQL installed
in your system already,
I'm going to show how to run MySQL in a Docker container.
Once we've got the Docker container running,
we'll dive into the coding details in the application.
We'll review the overall application structure first
and then we'll see how to connect the database,
execute a simple SQL statement,
execute the parametrized SQL statement,
and then finally execute the query to select data.
To wrap up, we'll stop the MySQL container
and remove the Docker image from our system
to return our system to its original pristine condition.
